NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Entertainer Bill Cosby urged New Orleans' black population on Saturday to cleanse itself of a culture of crime as it rebuilds from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina last year.

Cosby, whose criticism of some aspects of modern African-American culture has stirred controversy in recent years, told a rally headed by black leaders that the city needed to look at the "wound" it had before Katrina struck.

"It's painful, but we can't cleanse ourselves unless we look at the wound," Cosby told the rally of about 2,000 people in front of the city's convention center.

The poverty pimps beside Bill Cosby must have been seething. They want to hear it was ALL BUSH'S FAULT! Cosby shocked them by addressing black problems blacks had to address to get their lives back in order again.

I wish Cosby would come to Houston and have a little talk with the New Orleans transplanted blacks about cleansing themselves of a culture of crime since our crime rate has risen 20% since their arrival.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you had the highest murder rate, unto each other. You were dealing drugs to each other. You were impregnating our 13-, 12-, 11-year-old children," he said.

"What kind of a village is that?" (Cosby)

"If we in fact can use this technology for Mexican-Americans and Mexico, then we ought to," Jackson said. "If we can use this technology for Iraqi-Americans in America to Baghdad, then we ought to. We can use the same technology for New Orleanians, wherever they are in America."

Don't worry. The welfare pimps have their investigators out and about to find more damaging info about Cosby. You don't think these stories about sexual harassment or out of wedlock kids appear by accident?
